  Combat Mission Beyond Overlord
 Combat Mission
is a 1-2 player, turn-based, simultaneous-execution 3D simulation of WWII
tactical warfare. It combines unparalleled game depth and ease of use with a
true 3D environment. The move to the 3rd dimension is not just to look cool,
rather it it improves the accuracy of the simulation. Think of the world around
us - it's all 3D. True 3D LOS, 3D spotting, 3D terrain, and 3D trajectories are
a lot more realistic than 2D approximations, so that is what CM delivers!
Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord takes you
from Normandy 1944 to Germany 1945 on World War Two's Western Front. Play as
Allied or Axis, ranging from US Airborne to German Volkssturm. Battle across the
bocage, tackle a village or two, drive through the plains, push into the woods,
and slog it out in cities. CM provides all this and more with its historical
scenarios and campaigns. And if there is a battle that isn't covered, make it up
yourself with the easy to use editor.
Units are squads, teams, and individual
vehicles. You can command a force as small as a platoon, or as large as a
reinforced battalion. Each man and weapon is kept track of for maximum realism.
For example, check out what a Sturmgruppe squad looks like.
Each turn is equal to 60 seconds of combat.
Players give orders in a turn-based fashion, and then these orders are
simultaneously executed for 60 seconds of "real time". Then the next orders
phase begins. A typical scenario lasts about 40 turns, or 40 minutes of
simulated combat. There are also operations in CM, but not like you are used to.
You are put in command of a force tasked with a single ultimate objective. You
might have an afternoon or several days' worth of combat to achieve your
objective. You fight a small engagement (20-30 turns or so), then move on to
another after a brief rest and refit. Fight during the day, at night, or into
the early hours of the next day. It all depends on the campaign and your
skills.
